Scrawled by a mechanic on a wall in a bus garage: "We
have ways of making you walk."

Attached to a pole by the side of a two-lane regional road
near my home in Mississauga, Ont., a sign announced: "This road may be widened to 4
lanes." After months of unchanged conditions, the addition of a second sign
brightened the day of passing motorists: ". . . on the other hand it may not!"

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw these words scrawled on the
condom machine in a service station Men's Room, "This gum tastes like rubber!"
